IRIS

by Reckoning Machines


Research starts with the model.

Investment firms should be able to say why they believe what they believe - and whether it proved out.

Almost none can.

IRIS is a governed research operating system that keeps the model, evidence, reasoning, and decisions connected. AI does the work. You decide.

Spreadsheet

Work in the spreadsheet.

Keep the familiar grid and formulas. IRIS adds Methods, AI-assisted formulas, evidence, Versions, and Runs around them.

The spreadsheet stays familiar. The context stays with it.

The spreadsheet is where model work, assumptions, outputs, and evidence stay together.
Excel Add-in

Integrate IRIS behind Excel.

Connect your existing model to IRIS. Select a cell to see its analytical responsibility, Method, history, and evidence; ask a question without leaving Excel.

Keep the workbook. Add the context behind it.

Claude + MCP

Bring IRIS Context to Claude.

IRIS's read-only MCP connection gives Claude the selected analytical responsibility, its Model Logic and Method, and the relevant history and evidence.

Claude brings the intelligence. IRIS brings the context.

The Method captures how the analyst wants this part of the model handled.
Model Memory

What you believed, and what changed.

Versions, Runs, Results, Audit, and Timeline preserve the model, Method, and evidence behind the work.

Not disconnected prompts. An accumulating research record.

Reckoning Machines

Reckoning Machines is an advisory firm for investment companies.

We work on one problem. A firm should be able to say why it believes what it believes, and whether it proved out.

We install the process and infrastructure that change that. IRIS is the governed research operating system we built to do it.

Accountability

Put the reasoning on the record.

Trace what informed the belief. Check the judgment when the answer arrives.
